a pair of ohio politicians will rally for mitt romney, rob portman and john kasich. you can see the event live at 5:30 eastern also on c-span. and a little bit later it's the nominee himself, mitt romney will speak in jacksonville, florida, joined by former golf jeb bush at the event. also on c-span live at 8 eastern. >> you know, indiana's made incredible progress in the last eight years. we've honestly balanced budgets during all those years, we've become the fiscal envy of the country, and now we have the largest budget surplus that we've ever had in our history. it's going to make it possible for us to strengthen our budget reserves, and i believe we can cut taxes for every hoosier. but, john, you just said that we pay for things in indiana, okay? but when you were speaker of the house, for five of the six years that you were running the statehouse, indiana ran deficits. when mitch daniels came into power just a couple years later on budgets you helped to write, indiana was $700 million in debt and had a deficit of $820 million. you know, john, facts are stubborn

rob portman will be campaigning with mitt romney as will chris christie. talk to me about the tightening in ohio. >> ohio, it is, isn't too much to say ohio is crucial obviously. if you look at the polls i think there was a sense both in public polling and internal polling for the campaigns that ohio was slipping away from republicans in a state that they need to win. now seems there is some tightening. there was a poll out in michigan last night shows president obama only up three points there. if president obama is only up three points in michigan and that's a good poll, it's likely that ohio is back to a dead-heat which insures that continue to be competitive through november 6. martha: this is why we find it so fascinating. everybody was convinced debates don't move the needle that much in the end. >> this one sure did. martha: a historic move and debate political scientists will look back on for years to come. steve, thank you so much. we'll see you soon. >> thanks, martha. martha: okay. bill: sad note now. that border agent shot in the line of duty n

he's basically behaved like rob portman would have bee had as a running mate. they want the boring running mate. i think you're right. they usually think about me, paul ryan was everybody conservative republican five years ago. this was a great springboard for the future getting on this ticket. i'm starting to look at it and say, if romney/ryan does not win, his stock could go down long-term. >> here's the unfortunate truth. the last time a vice presidential nominee made a difference is when 1960 when lbj for texas. that's number one. number two, vice presidential running mates always, first thing is do no harm. we learned that obviously from sarah palin. most americans look at the vice presidential debate and say i'm still going to vote for romney or the president. unless there's a game changer like a sarah palin moment. that's not going to happen on thursday. i go back to my original point. these are two very smart people sticking to the talking points. at the end of the day, now what ryan does do for the ticket is he energizes the base on the republican side

>> i'm with ohio senator rob portman. i want to ask you about an exchange that happened at the end of the debate. it was over the auto bailout for the car industry. the president reminding viewers about the op ed letting detroit go bankrupt. mitt romney said i never said i would liquidate the industry. the president said you can't air brush the history. did he not say he opposed the auto bailout. >> that's great for us to get the issue out. the facts are, it's president obama who took the auto companies through bankruptcy. >> governor romney advocated that policy as well. he also advocated government help for the auto companies to get them back on their feet. what he didn't advocate is leave a lot of people out of retirement. he also shut down a lot of dealerships, picking and choosing, which ones would be closed or not. he chose to close two auto plants, also we're still at about $20 billion -- >> if you were to have the bailout go into effect, the auto industry as it stood at that time would cease to exist? >> not, not

you have senator rob portman of ohio had been on the vp short list. he didn't get that nod obviously but has been prominent inside the romney camp. he was campaigning in fact yesterday after another debate prep session in ohio. he is campaigning with mitt romney. his crowds have been growing on the stump. he has gotten some momentum after that first debate in denver. and one of governor romney's top advisors ed gillespie said no matter what adjustments the president makes heading into the second debate they still think romney has the upper hand. >> he can change his style and tactics. he can't change his record and his policies. that is what this record is about is the fact of $4,300 drop in household incomes occurred under his watch. we have a stagnant economy. >> reporter: now, the reason why tuesday night is so critical, of course, is that after this one there is only one more face to face showdown between the two candidates. that is going to be at the end of october down in florida where they will be focused on foreign policy. tuesday night a mix
